how much paracord

[Retterath]

when you guys are going on a 7day backpack trip how much paracord do u guys take with you?

 

[Gr8bawana]

I've got a formula that works with anything to do with "how much".
That would be enough but not too much.

 

[RICMIC]

Paracord weighs very little, and is real handy stuff. I use it to hang my food up, but have some heavier line for hanging meat. If ypu need a number, I would not take less than 100'. I never measured, but bet I bring more than that. Then you'll have plenty for spare boot laces, tent lines, dental floss (for you southern boys), etc.

Now thats funny, about the Dental Floss!!!! I also carry at least 100 feet God bless ya'll

last trip i went on i bought a full roll which was a 100ft and never used any so was just wondering if most brought less or quite a bit.

200` . Done.

I have never measured it. lol. I would guess I take around 50', maybe more, IDK, I have a few pieces of 550 cord rolled up that are prob 10'-20' long that I always take. I never have used all of it but it sure comes in handy at times!

I take 100' on any hunts that take me far enough that I have to spend the night on the mountain. I do not use any of it for shelters, if I did use it for shelters I would take more.

 

[Retterath]

Thanks guys I was just curious I had about 150' and was thinking this is probably ridiculous but maybe not. I might cut back a little

I took a 50' roll with me on my Idaho elk hunt. BARELY had enough to hang the quarters in a tree high enough to be safe for the night. Lesson learned!

 

[Bonecollector]

It weights next to nothing, so I'd always take at least 100' roll.

I carry 50ft if I am with someone else( they pack 50ft too) By myself 100ft. I get the cord with the reflective strip in it. Very east to see with a flashlight at night.

Shoot yeah, since it's light and is better to have and not need than to need and not have, a full hundred footer or even more wouldn't be bad.

50 feet is what I take.

I like (2) 50 ft rolls. Gives me more than enough with a lot less cursing with the tangle the 100ft roll seams to tie itself in.

You could go with the average of all of these answers and carry 82.9456 feet.

 

[Retterath]

Can u put that 82.9456 into a fraction so when I get my Stanley lever lock out I will be able to measure it exactly.

82 feet & 11 1/32" should get you darn close

Why would they need floss for one tooth?
